Time-Lapse Video of Traditional Mongolian Yurt Tent Set Up
--Chad Love
So how long does it take to set up your wall tent? Here's a cool time-lapse video of a Mongolian family setting up a traditional yurt.
From Boingboing:
The nomadic people of Mongolia don't stay in one place for long. That's why they live in gers (which American's know by the Russian name, yurt), a home that is fast and easy to assemble and disassemble.
Putting up a ger (pronounced gair) is fast and easy, but its best done by an entire family. This ger was moved by the family of Shagdarsuren Herelchuluun, on the east side of Lake Hovsgol, in northern Mongolia, not far from the Russian border.
Think that'd be a sweet set-up for deer, elk or bird-hunting camp?

Spent a bit of time in gers, or yurts, which ever you prefer. They withstand the howling winds and snow fabulously. Remember counting the struts in the circular structure at the top which holds everything together, 32 or 64 strikes my memory, whatever, it is a snug place to spent a cold, howling night. Might add if your were of importance, the stove was fueled by horse manure rather than other various fuel. Wish I was younger. Kindest to all.
Post Script.
Mostly made of home made felt. You could not hear the wind, or at least with my poor hearing. A snug harbor....and nice people. Kindest Regard
Amazing.
Inside covered with home made felt, then covered with canvas to shed wind, snow and rain
The video indicates the ger being transported by truck. My days in Mongolia, usually the components were on a wagon pulled by a huge Bactrian camel. Kindest Regards
Looks like the way to go to me. Simplicity is the essence of good design.
Not as quick as my Eureka four-man tent but a heckova lot cozier.
I've heard of them, first time to see one erected. It has my interest and will have learn about it. Thanks.
